Ranch Radio Song Of The Day #1391

We'll dedicate the whole week to A-10, the Crayola Cowboy.  This is Asleep At The Wheel performing Am I Right (Or Amarillo). The tune is on their 2007 CD Reinventing The Wheel.  It will be a Swingin' Week, cuz that's what A-10 likes.  I am confused though. In his comments on Monday's song, Etienne mentions the Desert Sun, El Corral and Graham's...all of those are places I've never heard of.  I just knew my dorm room, the class room and the NMSU library.  Maybe he can clue me in...Mad Dog, aka The Westerner http://thewesterner.blogspot.com/

Today's selection is some string band music by the Glade City Rounders titled The One Called Shave Em Dry.  The tune is on their 2014 CD They're After Us.  For the more venturesome, you'll have a better understanding of this recording if you are familiar with Lucille Bogan's 1935 recording of Shave Em Dry...warning...that recording is super raunchy.

Its Swingin' Monday and since yesterday's tune was from a 2014 CD by a bluegrass group, we'll spend the week with 2014 releases by bluegrass and string band groups.  Today's selection is Snufdipper by the Red Clay Ramblers.  Personally, I think they are a little choosey when it comes to women.  And no, that's not the way I spell snuff, but that's the way its listed on their 2014 CD Carolina Jamboree.

Can Santa do the mambo?  That's what Terry Fell wants to find out with his We Wanna See Santa Do The Mambo. 

Artist Biography by Cub Koda

Known for his one big hit, 1954's "Truck Driving Man," Terry Fell is but a footnote in country history, but an important one nonetheless. His hit literally spawned the whole truck driving saga that is still a major part of country music's lyrical pool. He was also the first to see the promise in a young Buck Owens, signing him to a manager's contract and using him as a lead guitarist on his sessions.

Fell started his recording career around 1945 as a member of Billy Hughes' group for Fargo Records. After the lone Fargo release, Fell recorded for Courtney and 4-Star, kicking up enough noise and sales with the 4-Star singles to get signed to RCA Victor's new 'X' subsidiary in 1954. It was at his first RCA session held in Hollywood that Fell waxed his first, and biggest, hit, the two-sided smash "Don't Drop It" and the immortal "Truck Drivin' Man." At first, "Don't Drop It" was the side to watch, spawning no less than five different cover versions for two different marketplaces. But it was the flip side that became the classic, spawning innumerable cover versions and hitting again on the country charts as late as 1976 for Red Steagall. Fell stayed with RCA and show business for the next five or six years, seeing no more hits but making serious inroads into the behind-the-scenes side of Nashville. Although he continued to record sporadically for Crest, Lode, and even RCA again, he had made the successful move into songwriting and music publishing, earning far more than he ever had as a performer.
